Firmino fluffed his lines from the penalty spot, striking the post when he could have made it 3-1 before half-time, and Joaquin Correa ensured Sevilla claimed a share of the spoils at Anfield.

Asked if their wayward finishing may come back to haunt them after registering 24 shots to the visitors' seven, Klopp – who handed the returning Philippe Coutinho 15 minutes of game time off the bench – said: "If we shoot that often and don't score it's probably a problem, but I don't think it'll be like this.

Klopp spoke sparingly on Coutinho's return after the wantaway forward's transfer request amid heated interest from Barcelona, but did say he was happy to see him back.

There were two dismissals in the game, with Sevilla coach Eduardo Berizzo sent to the stands for twice throwing the ball away, while Joe Gomez got his marching orders at the death for a second yellow card.
